The property has three bedrooms and one bathroom.
The house sits on a 736 m² block of land.
Within about 1 km you’ll find the Dickson Library, Dickson Centre, Swinden Street Metro station and Dickson Interchange, the Quality Hotel Dickson, a recently refurbished cafe and vet clinic in the Downer shopping centre, and the local oval with its bronze kangaroo sculpture.
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility from the 1930s, later used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II, and the surrounding pine and gum trees were planted as windbreaks. The area later developed into a residential suburb with the community centre and shops dating back to that era.
The site sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone foundations that gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains.”
Downer is part of the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party, and falls within the ACT Legislative Assembly electorate of Kurrajong.
